Some new Balance pictures - two compared to Sage 2 in size

[dirtpig67]

Short simple answer, it doesn't, or at least mine doesn't. Short, light weight handle and strong ball detent add up to very little energy. Someone told me that loosening the pivot a bit lightens the action, but I like mine the way it is. Assuming it will have more weight in the handle, the upcoming SS version might be better for the Spydie drop. Just not sure whether that will be the case, or whether it will just re-task the CF version's liners as handle slabs.

Any word on when the SS version will be out?

Haven't seen anything but, more often than not lately the first news of new models/variants is when someone posts that they saw one on eBay.

Great photos Reeek and The Deacon! I absolutely love this knife! I guess i'll have to save up for the CF version or wait until the SS Balance comes out which ever comes first...

I saw a proto of the SS version at the USN Gathering yesterday... it's pretty sweet.

This knife did nothing for me until I handled it at the show... now I think that I'll have to pick one up. For such a small knife it's ergos are very nice. I can see myself carrying this one every day.

I got my Balance Saturday and I am impressed with it. It is small and it is a very well made folder. I would like if it was about the size of the Urban and can hope. I have a Kukri and like it a lot. It is well made, also. Man, this Balance has a very thin blade and is a great slicer and cutter and sharp. This one is a keeper and EDC. The photos are great! Thanks!
